Callista is a rising fourth-year medical student at California Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine. She is from Arcadia, California, and graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Psychobiology and a minor in Gerontology. Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley and attending a university with such prominent AANHPI communities has kept her connected to her roots and inspired her to learn how a career in medicine can give back to the communities that she grew up in. She has served on APAMSA’s National Board as a Social Media Committee Member (2024-2025) and Social Media Director (2025-2026).

Outside of school, she is either reading on her emotional support Kindle, watching Lakers games, or finding new boba spots. Fun fact: she and her friends developed a boba-themed finance-tracking app during a Hackathon, which went viral in the subtle Asian traits Facebook group and was featured on NextShark!
